The monument to Dollard des Ormeaux in Lafontaine Park was graffiti’d up with the word ASSACIN overnight in an anticolonialist gesture.

I almost (not really) wish someone would do similar to Gandi’s bust, to see how the media and twitterverse would react differently.
The National Post has a defence of Gandi, with points like:
“[His] racist views reflected the staid British education and values of the time in which he was raised”
“… put them in context of the period and the systems in which he was raised”
I agree with those points! I don’t get why they *don’t* get applied to des Ormeaux, Mcdonald, McGill, etc. who’s world **centuries earlier** was unimaginably different from ours.
